This recipe is a version of curry chicken salad, but vegetarian. Chickpeas are so versatile and hearty and they are a great substitute for meat in vegetarian dishes. This curry chickpea salad tastes just like curry chicken salad, just without the chicken. I loved the use of apple and celery for some sweetness and crunch and the chow mein noodles add great texture and crunch too.
This is super easy to make and takes about 5-10 minutes to put together. Nothing needs to be cooked and I loved the simplicity of making these. I used jalapeno cheddar wraps for these, you can also use large burrito sized tortillas. Dried curry powders can vary a lot, so use one you like, and start with a small amount and work up as some are more potent than others.
